RCRA manages hazardous materials, handling, storage, and proper disposal. Applicible to most active manufacturing facilities that generate hazardous wastes (there are three classifications: Large, Small and Conditionally Exempt Generators). Waste Minimization is applicable to RCRA.
When you have a spill, or a historical release, CERCLA will kick in and dictate the standards for cleanup.
FIFRA regulates storage, handling and manufacturing of Insecticides and herbicides.

There should be an EPA web-page which gives you these. The names sometimes don't exactly match their actual (or intended) goals.
